Trump still has confidence in himself as a campaigner, and Northeastern University expert Costas Panagopoulos said the president might be energized to aggressively campaign in the midterms later this year. “This is where we see Trump excelling most, or at the very least, his passion and his interest seems to lie in the game (of […]

Johnson claims that he relied on that promise, and by not holding up its side of the bargain, Twitter caused him harm. This, explains Woodrow Hartzog, a professor of law and computer science at Northeastern University, is a legal principle known as “promissory estoppel,” and it’s being argued with increasing frequency with regard to social […]

The report appeared to arrive unsolicited under the heading of “How to win the bid for the new Amazon Headquarters.” Its authors included Ted Carman, president of a local company that consults with municipalities on housing and zoning policies, and Barry Bluestone, a Northeastern University economist with an expertise in housing.

The analysis was written by researchers at Northeastern University and the final, full report is set to be released in June with more information on police-citizen encounters, police proactivity, police lawfulness and police-community relations.

The analysis was conducted by Northeastern University researchers Jack McDevitt and Anthony Braga. In the pilot program, 100 cameras were placed on patrol officers in five police districts, and plainclothes officers in the Youth Violence Strike Force, which tends to gang matters. There were 281 participating officers in total, and they typically worked day shifts. […]

BPD worked with Northeastern University researchers on the report, which gives preliminary findings into the program. The impact of the body camera program, according to the report, was 12 fewer complaints filed against officers during a one-year period.

The analysis, written by Northeastern University researchers for BPD, found the reduction in citizen complaints “small but statistically significant” and the reduction in use of force reports not statistically significant.
